If you’re looking for a reliable and high-tech sedan, you’ve come to the right place. Not only does Benson Honda have plenty of fabulous options in stock, but we can back up our choices, too! Today we’re going to look at why the 2016 Honda Accord in San Antonio is unmatched next to the 2016 Nissan Altima.

You want to buy a car that is safe on the road, right? Although both sedans are safe, the 2016 Honda Accord has much better safety ratings. In the IIHS 40 MPG small overlap frontal offset crash test, the 2016 Accord had an overall “Good” evaluation and a “Good” rating for the lower leg evaluation. Meanwhile, the 2016 Altima had an overall “Acceptable” evaluation and a “Poor” lower leg evaluation. Also, the Accord was recognized by IIHS as a 2015 “Top Pick Plus.” The Altima? It was only a standard “Top Pick” and did not receive the highest score.

You’ll also have a smoother ride in the 2016 Accord. The Accord has standard front and rear gas-charged shocks for better control over choppy roads. The Altima doesn’t offer this. The Altima also doesn’t offer the Accord’s drift compensation steering automatically switches to adjust to dangerous road conditions, which is something that could really come in handy this season!

If safety and a smooth ride are important to you but you’re more interested in the features, the 2016 Honda Accord beats the Altima in cool built-ins. With the Accord EX-L Touring, you’ll have memory seats that are activated with one touch of your keyless remote! For those rainy days, the Accord has standard windshield wipers that turn on and off according to the amount of rainfall, this is not available in the 2016 Altima. Lastly, although both sedans offer front heated seats, the Accord Touring has standard heated rear seats for those passengers in the back. No one is ever uncomfortable in the 2016 Honda Accord!

See? You just can’t pass up a great car like the 2016 Honda Accord in San Antonio. Go ahead, get your hands on the wheel of this impressive sedan at Benson Honda today!
